So my DNS is resolving fine, I have no firewall enabled, I'm not using SELinux or anything, and of course I'm posting on the internet otherwise I wouldn't be here. But this has been an issue for a few weeks since I switched to Deiban 5.0 "Lenny" -- I just can't reach any online repositories!
It doesn't matter what I attempt to try. In GNOME, I go to Systems -> Administration -> Software Sources. Under the Debian Software tab, I select from "Download from:" and go to Other, and I try any of those servers and the same result keeps happening. When I hit the "Select Best Server" button, it tests all of the download servers and out of 389 tests, it'll choose "debian.cites.uiuc.edu" which I suppose makes sense because of the proximity. So I choose that, close the window, and it'll tell me I gotta reload since I chose a new repo. I do that and I ALWAYS get the same damn error:
Replace the name of the server with whatever you want... And although this example was an FTP site, it does this with HTTP as well. So is this a bug or something? Maybe someone who's using Debian 5.0 can fill me in.
